How can I ssh inside a Perl script?

Question

I want to SSH to a server and execute a simple command like \"id\" and get the output of it and store it to a file on my primary server. I do not have privileges to install

Answer 1

or, assuming host keys are present and you want to do something with the command ouput ...

open(SSH,"/usr/bin/ssh you\@server ps aux |") or die "$!\n";
while () { 
   # do stuff with $_ 
}
close SSH;
